Ps3Maven helps you find the best deals for Black Friday, starting November 25th.

With the possibility of traveling far distances to meet up with loved ones, visiting pests relatives about to occupy your home, or spending way too much time in the kitchen slaving over a turkey, Thanksgiving week is bound to be a hectic one for many of us celebrating it. (Be thankful it comes once a year!)

So really, the last thing you want to do is fish around the web for Black Friday deals, of which there will be in much supply come this Friday, November 25th. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and rounded up every PlayStation 3 sale from every retailer participating and posted them below. We were thinking of giving you a can of cranberry sauce instead, but I think you’ll agree this is much better.

Off the bat, you might notice that the headlining deal that every outfit is sharing in is a $200 PlayStation 3 bundle featuring Ratchet & Clank All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2, but only ToysRus is adding in a free PS3 wireless controller with that order. Ideally that would be the best deal, but honestly, any shop you decide to go to on either Friday or Saturday will fit your PS3 wants, if need be.

Remember, some deals might change on the fly — so as the old saying goes, first come, first serve!

Best Buy

The largest electronics retail chain in North America will open its doors at midnight (12:00 am) on Friday, where three of the biggest games this year, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, and Batman: Arkham City have been slashed down to $30 each.

GameStop, the dark lords of used games, also opens up midnight at Friday too (I hope you guys bring jackets and hot cocoa), but only some deals will be one day only (they’re noted in red, m’kay). My hot hot hot deal for you to check out is Rayman Origins at $40, a steal if I ever saw one.

Surprisingly ToysRus will get a jump start on the competition by opening — or rather — starting their Black Friday extravaganza three hours early (9:00 pm Thursday night). What’s also surprising though, is the selection of deals; which I mean there is hardly none of besides the aforementioned PS3 bundle for $200 (this one gives you a free wireless controller, probably a third party one though). I do like the buy one PS3 game, buy another for five dollars offer — yet the catalog of what to choose over is slim pick’ins. Aw, shucks!

Again! Open at midnight. Now, what’s really good here is Walmart’s variety of $10 – $15 games (I spy Yakuza 4 at $10 — holy moly), plus they beat every retailer by selling Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3 for two dollars less ($28 each). Which I guess is cool, if your care about saving every shopping dollar you can.

Yup, also open at midnight. Actually, Target’s first year in doing so. Goes to show how all this Black Friday madness has caused quite stir for U.S. retailers that want every shopping dollar they can get. Disappointingly, nothing too special here — but for picking up Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Rayman Origins you do get a ten dollar gift card; that’s kinda nice, maybe.

Lastly we come to Kmart; who opts instead for a 5:00 am kick-off to their Black Friday sales. If your looking for blue-light discounts on Medal Gear Solid HD Collection ($34.99) or ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection ($29.99), then you know where to go. Kmart that is.

Sony may be gearing up for Black Friday by offering two new PS3 bundles that will be hitting the shelves the day after Thanksgiving.

According to our source, some photos revealing the two new bundles were leaked to the internet from a Sony media package that it was sending to retailers in anticipation of the sale.

The first bundle, dubbed the “Complete Entertainment Package” will feature a 160 GB PS3, along with a controller and the games Little Big Planet 2 and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.

The second bundle will be called the “Mayhem Edition”, and will be a Playstation Move focused package. This bundle will ship with Killzone 3 and Resistance 3, along with the Sharpshooter motion control peripheral.

Black Friday is the single largest day of consumer shopping in the United States, generally focusing on consumer electronics and other hardware. Normally people go crazy for televisions, stereos and the like, while gaming consoles have mostly sat in the background.

Recently however, the big three of gaming (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) have been trying to steal a bit of the spotlight. Black Friday traditionally kicks off the beginning of the Christmas and holiday shopping season in the United States, so with any luck big gaming bundles like this won’t be the last of the holiday sales we get this year.

There are probably many Black Friday PS3 Deals that give a few bucks off or a coupon for accessories, but this one credits you $150, and I am not talking about a PS3 Vending Machine here. Moreover, this one doesn’t require you to wake up early, sleep outside to be within the first 10 or limits you to a specific store. Sounds like this Black Friday won’t be so black thanks to Playstation.

This Black Friday Deal seen at Yahoo offers $150 Credit on a newly opened Sony and Visa Collaborative card when purchasing a PS3 Game console. This may not give you $150 off at checkout or by mail, but is is actual credit that can be used towards actual physical items. Furthermore, this PS3 Card grants you additional ‘bonus points’ towards Playstation purchases each time it is used.

I am not sure, but this Black Friday Deal could be a major one for those that are waiting for that great PS3 Deal, allowing them to finally get their hands on this amazing Video Game Console. And like the Playstation 3 Chatpad, it is here in perfect time for the Holidays.
